This book had me run through so many emotions in in such a short time! It's definitely not a book for everyone but I did enjoy reading it. It was well written and I did feel for the characters even in such a short time!

The major reason this book is getting such a low rating from me is because of the conflict I felt between the story and the pacing. Once it ramps up it RAMPS UP. Which is normally fine with me. But there are moments in this book that I feel would have landed so much better if the book was a bit longer. Like the emotional journey of the best friend/ crush.
It’s one thing to want to protect your friend/ significant other and bring the assaulter to justice… it’s another to jump to helping that friend turned significant other torture and kill the person that assaulted them, when most of the time the best friend is off the page.

Trigger warnings: SA, blood, gore
This isn't the sort of story I normally read and it left me feeling queasy, but that's exactly the point of this tale, I feel. While the main character and the villain both do awful things, you're left feeling as though the villain deserved comeuppance for their awful assault.
It's a good old revenge plot, and though it's short, it's also succinct. I also think that Messer did a really great job of expressing the feelings that come in the aftermath of SA.
It did feel hard at times to put an age on the characters. Despite them being college students, they did feel younger to me sometimes. I also would have liked to have seen more of the aftermath of their revenge. But a good, short horror overall, plenty to like if you're into this genre!

This was a fun, gory little read by Messer and I thoroughly enjoyed every last bit of it. There were some harder parts to read, but most things don't scare me off and I really loved the ending of it -- so damn good! My only downside is that I wish the story could have been a little longer as I feel we didn't get to know the characters as much as I would have personally liked...but it was a well written and balanced story. Well done Messer!
